This tea party group, Citizens for Informed Voters, with a 23 year old treasurer C Ritter is buying up air time on the buzz and saying that 80% of Ppl are against the streetcar. It attacks quinlivan and seelbach specifically.

John Cranley is now doubling down on Christopher Smitherman. https://www.facebook.com/CranleyforCincinnati He shared Smitherman's latest anti-streetcar anti-everything conspiratorial rant against The Buzz, Jeri Tolliver, & Rob Richardson on his campaign's facebook page Guess who the first like is? Mark Miller...Treasurer of COAST

Last Wednesday, Cranley was on 700 on Cunningham's show. I don't know if Qualls was on with Cunningham at the end of last week or not, but Cunningham made some sort of comment that Qualls would be coming on with him sometime between that time and tomorrow. I highly doubt that. Qualls and Cunningham do not get along from what I hear. Cunningham always uses that "Sports" yell clip from Qualls. Qualls will go on Scott Sloan's show but I highly doubt she'll go on Cunninghams

Dillingham and Morowski have zero chance of getting on. Smitherman may get knocked off, but the challengers with the potential to get on are Mann, Landsman, Murray, Flynn. I'm sure a lot of people said the same thing about Yvette Simpson and Chris Seelbach last election, though, thinking Bortz and Murray would be reelected. To be honest, I was shocked when Ghiz and Bortz were not voted back in

Is there a rule on radio for having political candidates on? Like an equal airtime rule? I feel like Cranley has been on 700wlw way more than Qualls recently

I think Smitherman is very vulnerable this election. Sure he's got the tea party/GOP/700wlw vote, but a LOT of people are turned off by him. Also he barely made it last time

Lets be honest, PG will be elected. I think Charlie Winburn is a shoe in as well. That's 2 anti-streetcar votes right off the bat.

CHris Smitherman releases a response to that attack ad played on the buzz. In it, he mentions that 85-90% of African Americans do not support the streetcar It's impressive how smoothly he pulls this from his ass

http://blackcincinnati.blogspot.com/2013/11/fbi-public-corruption-squad-asked-to.html?m=1 Don't know if this is true or not but these are some shocking allegations against alicia Reece. He touches on Cranley and his campaign finance report along with some other interesting allegations about Cranley and reece

More anger directed towards Christopher Smitherman. This time from Janaya Trotter Bratton about her encounter with Christopher Smitherman https://www.facebook.com/nathaniel.livingston.50/posts/10202560942728861 … Meanwhile, John Cranley is saying: "Christopher Smitherman will have an important role in my administration" Another Weird Smitherman rant...In one part of a recent Smitherman video on media bridges, he says he wants to "pull down the pants" of Council members & "spank their little fannies"

*EDIT: The video shown on channel 4 tonight was from 8/21/13. I dont know why Smitherman tweeted tonight as if it were live* Holy Sh*t. Please tell me someone else just saw that Christopher Smitherman hour long rant on Mediabridges channel 4? http://230704.myvideotalkstudio.com/streaming/pages He poorly imitated Chris Seelbach He called council 'crackheads' He said people are 'accusing smitherman of being a communist or tea partier' He said democrats are trying to defund media bridges to 'silence smitherman' and on and on and on. That was only the last 30 minutes! I missed the first half! This is John Cranley's guy! "Christopher Smitherman will serve an important role in my administration"

Yet Another tea party group has come out in support of John Cranley. This one is called "Citizens For Informed Voters" . If they sound familiar, its probably because they are the ones that circulated that anti-streetcar flyer with wild misinformation earlier in the campaign Bill Collins ‏@BCollinsSignMan 4m Right-wing "Citizens 4 Informed Voters" (CIV) mailer mailed 2 "CINCINNATI REPUBLICANS" endorses @JohnCranley, PG, Murray, Winburn, Smithermn Here's the photographic evidence https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B8lgH08Xi1PsMGROOXI1YURJc3c/edit?usp=sharing&pli=1

Anti-Christopher Smitherman ad playing on the buzz Pretty funny

Some funny Smitherman ads going around There's also a commercial on the Buzz they are playing where they take the audio from him singing here (Where he rambled about the streetcar), and then the speaker calls him a sellout and asks voters to vote for anyone but him

You're the man, John!

No other media outlet has picked this story up. That is disturbing

It's free for everyone. I read the whole thing

Qualls will be on the buzz at 11 for an hour

Business courier will have a big feature on the streetcar tomorrow available to everyone. Will include costs of canceling, contracts, etc

And he took a $1100 donation from the ceo of paycor!

Another Cranley scandal http://www.citybeat.com/cincinnati/blog-5204-cranley_helped_paycor_move_450_to_500_jobs_out_of_cincinnati.html

I'm no longer listing him as a supporter. I just removed him from my list. Thanks. I'll post that list again every few days until the election, since people tend to come to this thread to ask which candidates are supporters. I figured he changed his mind when the FOP and FF endorsed him

No surprise there. She is an vocal anti-streetcar person

Larry Frazier sued Cranley in 2003. Anyone know the results? http://www.citybeat.com/cincinnati/article-7723-news_another_kind_of_council_race.html

Cranley: "Christopher Smitherman will not be my vice mayor choice but he is a great friend of mine and will serve an important role in my administration"
